Chapter 28
Come Out! One-Tailed Shukaku

In the midst of the chaotic battlefield, Crocodile, leading the members of Baroque Works, relentlessly attacked the CP organization members and pirates surrounding them.

However, as the battle raged on, Crocodile realized something was amiss.

No matter how hard he fought, the number of enemies around him did not decrease, but instead increased.

At this rate, when would he be able to obtain the power of the tailed beast?

With this thought in mind, Crocodile immediately changed his strategy.

"Don't waste time with these people, let's go straight to the ruins and get the tailed beast's power!..."

Crocodile shouted, his body transforming into a wave of sand as he charged towards the ruins.

"Crocodile, where do you think you're going? ... Stay here..."

Seeing Crocodile's movement, CP organization members immediately rushed towards him, attempting to intercept him.

"Get out of my way, don't stop me from obtaining the power of the tailed beast..."

"Sandstorm..."

Seeing the CP organization members blocking his path, Crocodile gathered a powerful burst of sand in his hand, then swiftly swung it.

The sand, like a sandstorm, directly blasted the CP organization members blocking his way, sending them flying.

At the same time, Crocodile continued to charge towards the ruins.

In the desert not far away, two figures were also approaching the center of the ruins.

These two were Princess Vivi and her bodyguard, Igaram.

After Vivi left the palace alone, her bodyguard, Igaram, pursued her.

Initially, Igaram wanted to bring Vivi back.

However, after Vivi's persistent persuasion, Igaram agreed to accompany her to the vicinity of the ruins.

"Your Highness, this place is far too dangerous! Let's leave quickly!..."

Seeing the chaotic battlefield before them, with countless pirates engaged in a bloody struggle, Igaram expressed his concern.

"No... Igaram, we can't leave!..."

"Only by obtaining the power of the tailed beast in the ruins can we protect the Alabasta Kingdom..."

Vivi stated resolutely, her eyes unwavering as she quickly approached the ruins, relying on her familiarity with the terrain.

To their surprise, despite the chaotic battlefield surrounding them, Vivi miraculously managed to enter the ruins.

Meanwhile, after a difficult and bloody fight, Crocodile, his body covered in wounds, finally reached the ruins.

However, he paid no attention to his injuries, instead, he looked at the ruins in front of him with excitement.

"Haha... Is this it!?..."

"This is where the tailed beast is sealed!?..."

"Bring the Celestial Dragon to me quickly..."

Crocodile exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes... Boss..."

Hearing Crocodile's order, a limping Baroque Works executive immediately dragged a struggling Celestial Dragon over.

Although the battlefield was a scene of intense violence, they had been specifically instructed to protect the Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, although they were seriously injured, the Celestial Dragon remained unharmed.

"Ah... Damn you, what are you doing!..."

"Let me go, let me go, I am a Celestial Dragon..."

The Celestial Dragon struggled and screamed constantly.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Celestial Dragon struggled, they could not break free, ultimately falling into Crocodile's clutches.

"Celestial Dragon, your time has come..."

"For the power of the tailed beast, you shall die!..."

Without hesitation, Crocodile directly killed the Celestial Dragon.

At the same time, to make the Celestial Dragon's blood flow faster, Crocodile directly used the metal hook in his hand to sever the Celestial Dragon in half, countless blood splattering.

In the air, Jiang Yu, using the Deidara character template, quickly noticed the commotion in the ruins.

"This is! ... Someone killed a Celestial Dragon in the ruins!?..."

"It seems like it's time to materialize a portion of One-Tail Shukaku's power..."

Jiang Yu thought to himself, plotting.

Jiang Yu was well aware that the One-Tail Shukaku was merely a fabrication he created to enhance the Deidara and Sasori character templates.

However, to Jiang Yu's surprise, the people in the One Piece world were incredibly interested in the power of the tailed beasts.

Whether it was pirates, Marines, or the World Government, they were all vying for the power of the tailed beasts.

Given this situation, Jiang Yu had to make the tailed beast appear on the Grand Line.

Otherwise, wouldn't it prove that the contents of the future videos were false!?

If everyone ceased to believe in the content of the videos, how could he rely on them to activate his character templates in the future.

Of course, the power of the tailed beasts was incredibly strong, and it would be very difficult for Jiang Yu, with his current Legend Points, to materialize a tailed beast from thin air.

However, Jiang Yu didn't intend to materialize the full power of the tailed beast, just a small portion would suffice.

...

Within the ruins, as Crocodile killed the Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragon's blood spilled onto the sand.

The blood of the Celestial Dragon suddenly coalesced, transforming into countless threads that rapidly spread throughout the ruins, forming a gigantic magic circle.

Simultaneously, a terrifying aura erupted from the magic circle.

"Haha... The power of the tailed beast!..."

"Come out now! The power of the tailed beast..."

Seeing the changes within the ruins, Crocodile's face couldn't help but break into a grin of excitement.

This massive commotion quickly drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

"What is going on!? Such a terrifying aura..."

"Look! In the ruins!..."

"This feeling, this scene! This is the power of the tailed beast!..."

"That's right, it's the power of the tailed beast! The power of the tailed beast is about to be unleashed..."

"Quickly... Let's go seize the power of the tailed beast!..."

"The power of the tailed beast is ours..."

"..."

In an instant, whether it was pirates, Marines, or the World Government, everyone halted their actions and rushed towards Crocodile's location.

Especially the CP organization members of the World Government, their expressions were grim.

Why was there no reaction when they had killed dozens of Celestial Dragons?

Crocodile had only killed one Celestial Dragon, and yet he had already begun to unseal the power of the tailed beast.
